Notes: "The many accidents, chemical phenomena, and unaccountable failures incident to Lithographic Printing, have very much retarded the appearance of our present work, and have rendered it, upon the whole, less perfect than our first anticipations led us to expect.  We have given the following short description of Lithography, as many of our friends are unacquainted with the manner in which these impressions have been produced, and have perhaps conceived expectations of the work, beyond what was attainable by th imperfect process of the new Art, as it existed at the period when the first part of this work was printed."--Preface (leaf [2])
